Cinnamon pear cake

Moist and tender pear cake made with chucks of fresh pear nested in a cinnamon flavored tender cake.

I’ve mentioned my mom several times on his blog. Most days I wish she took the time to show me how to cook and bake at early age, but some days I’m happy she didn’t. No matter what mood I’m in, thinking of her always makes me smile. Despite having 3 kids, working a full-time job to which she had to commute daily, she found time to always make sure we have a home cooked dinner every night and bake something sweet over the weekend.

I remember every time we had more fruit than we could eat she roughly chop some and add it to a cake. It was her signature cake, so to speak. She has made it so many times she knew it by heart.

Today my friends and I are back sharing some of our favorite recipes in honor of Mother’s day. Check them out below. Thinking of my mom I made this pear cake.

Such a beautiful and sweet cake. Blessings dear. Catherine xo

Moms are the best. Yours sounds a lot like mine, Roxana - a house full of kids, a full time job but still, coming home to make a meal from scratch. I don't think I'll ever be that strong. I love that you made your mom's signature cake for today's post. This looks amazing! I can tell just by looking at your gorgeous photos how moist and fluffy the texture of the cake is. Those soft juicy chunks of pear just takes it over the top.

Wishing you a very happy and a fab mother s day Roxanna :) the cake is a delight- i can imagine the flavors tingling and tickling my tongue- the sweet pears and the earthy cinnamon- one cant want more in life

I always knew my mom worked incredibly hard but the more I grow up and the more busy life gets the more I appreciate all that she did for me and my brother. It is not easy by any means to run a house and raise children.

I used the basics of this recipe, but switched some ratios around and added some things...more brown sugar instead of white, nutmeg and cardamom, wholemeal flour, 1/3 of the flour replaced by almond meal....also mixed strawberries, cranberries and almond flakes into the mixture. To serve, I drizzled brown sugar/butter/icing sugar syrup over individual servings and sprinkled with toasted almond flakes...so good! It's probably denser than your recipe, when served the texture resembles pudding. Absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing this recipe :)

Very tasty, light cake -- good for breakfast or morning meetings! I will note that 45 minutes was too long in my oven -- I took mine out at about 38 minutes and it's on the verge of being overcooked. Next time, I'll cook it for 35 mins and hope for a more moist cake.

Hi Melanie
Thans for the comment! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the cake.
Oven temperature varies from oven to oven, even when an oven temperature is used, that's why I mention to test the cake by inserting a wooden pick in the center.
Thanks,
Roxana

Thanks for sharing such a wonderfully easy to follow recipe with easy to find ingredients. I am waiting for my cake to cook in my tiny mini oven. My current living situation means I have limited baking equipment but this recipe was perfect! Thank you again.
